Abstract:

I will present the latest Planck constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity derived from the full mission cosmic microwave background temperature and E-mode polarization maps and discuss the implications of these measurements for several non-standard inflationary models that are capable of producing large non-Gaussianities.
